Title: The day I got my new GTR
Post by: viper on April 08, 2012, 12:27:32 PM
After patricks trio pic , i felt the need to share a great day , without hijacking his great thread

Been waiting ages to get my new kwacka, was supposed to trade in my zzr1200 but bottled out at the last moment. My daughter came along and got about 100 pics , here is just 4 to sum up the day

I normally have to sneak mine home and hope the missus doesn't notice.
Last time even the jedi mind trick didn't work

My missus is fully supportive as an active pillion, she really decided the GTR over the Fjr, so she has taste.
However the z1300 im planning on maybe a tad more difficult :rolleyes:

I can understand that - it's butt ugly to start with.  :yawn:

Oh Boy!  Looks great  :clap:    :cool: :cool: :cool: :clap:

Is that a hot weather aero jacket; lets the wind in through specia;l mesh panels?

Traded in my zzr1200 for the ZX12 and never really missed it  ----- then traded the ZX12 for the GTR and still miss it . I don't regret it though -- still running in the GTR and think its great - just wish I could have afforded to keep both !  ( miss the lime green and the leathers that went with it  --- can't rally wear the lime green leathers with the british racing green 'older ' persons bike !
( bought a 2 peice Rev'it textile suit and nice as it is , it makes me feel a little too old  ----- think some black leathers will be needed ! )

Best thing is a HG Daylight jacket.
It scares the living daylight out of those Rossi Wannabes on their ZX12s.  :mfr_lol:
They slow right down and let you pass whenever you catch up with them and they spot you in the mirror. :yes:

Hein gericke cruise 11 jacket, it does have zip panels but thats it. An awesome jacket and 100% waterproof and breathable. Its only the price of them now that would stop me buying again

I'll be checking them out.  My gear was cut off at the scene of my recent prang.

Nite all.
